Hello and welcome back to the NotACast, the one true chapter-by-chapter podcast going through A Song of Ice and Fire one chapter a week! In this episode, the humbly-born moral compass of Westeros bears witness to the ascension of gods, kings, and his own uncertain fortunes.
This week, we:
- Talk about Stannis' transactional, Roman relationship with R'hllor
- Discuss, argue, debate over Davos as a POV and whether Stannis or Davos is the bigger hero
- Balance Stannis' justice vs. R'hllor
- Analyze the Azor Ahai ceremony on the beach and a parallel Azor Ahai proclamation in ADWD
- Dig in deep on the Azor Ahai story and a staggering omission on Melisandre's part
Next week: Guestember continues with High Inquisitor Frank B returning for Stannis' letter, the Windproud and Proud Wing and so much more in the 2nd half of Davos I!

Hello and welcome back to the NotACast, the one true chapter-by-chapter podcast going through A Song of Ice and Fire one chapter a week! In this episode, Tyrion informs Janos Slynt that the company’s moving in a different direction, but they’ll be sure to keep his resume on file.
This week, we:
-Debate who qualifies as protagonist of each book in the series
-Praise how George paces Tyrion's tipping point from luring in Janos Slynt to turning on him
-Discuss the many ways in which Tyrion's victory is undercut, from Cersei to Bronn
-Take a deep dive into the layers of political meaning in Varys' riddle
-Put that riddle in context with the reveal of Young Griff
Next week: Guestember continues with our own High Inquisitor--and Stannerman supreme--Frank B for Davos I, which will be another two-parter episode! It's not our fault the Dragonstone chapters are the best!

Hello and welcome back to the NotACast, the one true chapter-by-chapter (though not in this case) podcast going through A Song of Ice and Fire one chapter a week!
In this episode, Arya Stark wanders the war-torn Riverlands with her new companions: kids who try to rob her, adults who threaten to kill her, and her guardian Yoren, who beats her. It’s...it’s just so much fun to make new friends.
This week, we:
- Wonder whether Jon will adopt his mother's heraldry when he learns the truth
- Frame Arya as the "underfoot" POV among the smallfolk suffering under the clashing kings
- Talk about how George gradually paces his reveal of The War in all its horror
- Dig into Yoren of the Night's Watch as a figure of ambiguity and tragedy
- Munch popcorn as the downtrodden stand up to their oppressors...albeit only briefly, because this is ASOIAF and we can't have nice things for long
Next week: King Joffrey Baratheon (or so he calls himself) celebrates the unfortunate fact that he has survived another year in Sansa I!

Hello and welcome back to the NotACast, the one true chapter-by-chapter podcast going through A Song of Ice and Fire one chapter a week!
In this episode, STANNIS the objectively rightful King of Westeros and his morally unambiguous sorceress begin their crusade to set the world to rights. We foresee no complications whatsoever.
This week, we:
- Talk about the choice of introducing Stannis and Melisandre through Cressen's POV instead of Davos
- Attempt and ABSOLUTELY SUCCEED in re-evaluating Stannis against the memes and preconceived notions
- Set Stannis's characterization against what Robert, Renly and Westeros believe about him
- Re-evaluate Selyse and offer a more sympathetic picture of Queen Selyse while also looking askance at her fanaticism.
- Define Melisandre and her purpose in the story, analyzing her in the context of magic and magic
- Talk about Stannis burning Shireen in the context of the books and show.
Next week we're on the road for ACOK, Arya I, Arya II and Arya III! All Arya, all the time!

Hello and welcome back to the NotACast, the one true chapter-by-chapter podcast going through A Song of Ice and Fire one chapter a week!
In this episode, Maester Cressen stares down a giant Eye of Sauron in the sky above Dragonstone before meeting with his king...and the latter will be covered next week, as part of "Red, Part 2." Don't blame us, the chapter is 10,000 pages long!!
This week, we:
-Consider why George has been stingy on Stannis-Shireen moments so far relative to the show
-Give a quick overview of A Clash of Kings as we shift from book one of ASOIAF to book two
-Set up the dynamic between the secular and sorcerous that will dominate the book
-Talk about the siege of Storm's End and how it works as a foundation for Stannis' character
-Ask the most important question of all: what's up with Patchface?
Next week: Red, Part 2, introducing His Grace Stannis Baratheon, First of His Name. At long last.
